UMPCPortal Opinion
The Nexus S doesn't feel like a big jump forward from the original Nexus One. The only additions are an improved (and concave) AMOLED screen and NFC hardware. The MicroSD slot and trackball have been removed which will be seen as a downgrade for some.

Nokia E90, 4.0", 210gm
The E90 is the first smartphone to provide an 800-wide main screen which makes it very useful for Internet browsing and documentation. The Media capabilities are advanced (it uses that same processor as the Nokia N800) and the built-in cellular data capability too. This has to be considered in the low-end on the UMPC spectrum.
